Doh!

After systematically destroying the most profitable bits of the companies they have taken over since they did the job on Compaq suddenly they are doing an about turn.

Doh!

Whare's the brick wall to bang my head against? The ghost of Carly is on the move again.

Yeah I was a long term HP'er. Things went downhill ever since they took over Compaq. My small team made 50x our costs in profit (and increasing) but we were axed and escorted from the building with an hour of being told.

Now they go and sell their PC biz. Ironically on the same day that Lenovo are crowing over the success of their purchase of the the IBM PC Biz.

Hmmmm is there a pattern here? Do HP want Lenovo to buy their biz? Ha-ha.

Dell? don't make me laugh.

Then there is the doubtful future of Itanic?

This move seems even more crazy now that I think about it unless they want to sell the Printer biz as well and move into Consultancy. The same sector that they destroyed in Compaq and, well every other company they have taken over.

anon naturally.

Focus on other products

Now maybe HP can spend some time figuring out how to make a decent, reliable laser printer again....

Un-Fioniazed?

So HP has finally undone all the injuries of the past 10 years? Oy DEC I still miss the Alpha's. Fail - M&A is just money for lawyers and bankers.
